CALGARY - Derrius Brooks knows what to expect from the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

The position he’ll be asked to play, however, is a different story.

The Calgary Stampeders starter for the first two weeks of the season at boundary corner, Brooks is expected to return from a strained MCL in his left knee at halfback, replacing the injured Quincy Butler (knee).

Brooks last saw action against the same team he’ll face Friday (7 p.m., TSN, News Talk 770), as he went down in the Week 2 road loss to the Riders when he collided with a teammate on a tackle.
